Automorphic Forms and Lie Superalgebras

By Urmie Ray

Book Overview

This book provides the reader with the tools to understand the ongoing classification and construction project of Lie superalgebras. It presents the material in as simple terms as possible. Coverage specifically details Borcherds-Kac-Moody superalgebras. It examines the link between the above class of Lie superalgebras and automorphic form and explains their construction from lattice vertex algebras. It includes all necessary background information. Graduate students and researchers, in particular from the fields of algebra, number theory, conformal field theory and geometry, will be interested in this book's novel approach.
